Example

As with every method we need to pass in credentials. We do this with the LookupUser request object.

We will assume you have a web reference, let us name it SWS, in your Visual Studio project. At this point we need to define our objects. We will need the standard service object, a GetScheduledLetterList request object, and a GetScheduledLetterList response object. We can define and create those like this:

// Create a request and response objects
SWS.WSSoapClient service = new SWS.WSSoapClient();
SWS.getScheduledLetterList_Request request = new SWS.getScheduledLetterList_Request();
SWS.getScheduledLetterList_Response response;

Here’s my sample code of the Request object.

// GetScheduledLetterList Request
request.SiteID = 123456;
request.AcctID = 123456;
request.RentalID = 123456;

Finally we can call the method and pass across the login object and the request object to retrieve the scheduled letters for the specified rental. It’s a good idea to do this in a Try Catch block.

// Call the method that will load the response object
try
{
  response = service.getScheduledLetterList(user_request, request);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
  MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}

Note that if something goes wrong the service will respond with an exception. You will want to capture the message returned in that exception so it can be debugged.
